lets you know when a subscriber successfully auto-renews.PRICE_INCREASE_CONSENT
lets you know when the App Store starts asking users to agree to your subscription’s new price, so you can remind them of your service’s value as encouragement to stay subscribed.
In addition, the following will be deprecated in the App Store sandbox environment in November 2020: RENEWAL
notifications and these top-level objects: latest_receipt
, latest_receipt_info
, latest_expired_receipt
